I had a book on my WL come up this morning.  I checked that I wanted it, and it was in my requested books section.  Now it's totally gone, and there's nothing in my transaction archive either.  Wha...?

Look on your En Route to Me tab--was it marked mailed?

Nope, it's just totally gone.  It's really odd.

Check Transaction Archive by sorting  "books Requested by Me" and "Canceled by Sender".

 

The person may have canceled on you.

It's still not there.  I swear, I think I'm losing it!

No, you're not losing it. They probably cancelled - when that happens it no longer shows up in your Transaction Archive. It's just ::poof::: gone, like it never happened. I wish that info was still available, but I was told the information wasn't useful to us. Maybe not, but I *liked* having it there.

This happened to me before....do you have a requestors condition??  I ask for books from a nonsmoking environment and one of the book s that I accepted came from a smoker.  When he/she realized this, they canceled the transaction.  Check your email.  This is how I found out about mine!  I Know it is very disappointing!

Thanks Nicole, you're right, that's what happened.  I have a RC asking for no smoky books.  Ah well, I'll just have to keep waiting.
